Coming in late on this topic but after looking after our 2 aged 2 and 3 , adorable gc for 2 weeks on our own, full time- No please don’t do it to yourself.
There’s a very good reason old women don’t have children- we haven’t got the required energy needed .
As I always say to my daughter,
“I never had the pleasure of making them” absolutely no one helped me and my husband with any childcare, we sorted it ourselves.
I work part time, husband has multiple health issues, 2 lively toddlers- don’t do it !!
]Thank you for your outlook. It made me look back to when I had my babies. I had help when I took care of them. A very responsible teenager that lived across the street would come over often to help out. I needed to be reminded that I didn't do it alone for 8 hours a day on any given day, at least not most! I realize now I would be a wreck. I don't think I could endure 8 hours for 3 days a week without a helper. My parents helped out when my kids were young, but they worked as a team and it was only occasionally. When it was for a few days or during vacations when they were older, my parents were much younger than I am now. Thanks for sharing!
